get_non_matching_default_options is checking a string from
project_default_options against a validated value from
coredata.options.
Passing the string to validate_value ensures that the comparison
is sound; otherwise, "false" might be compared against False
and a bogus difference is printed.
When reverting from 0.57 to 0.56, one can see an error like this:
File /Users/pm215/src/qemu-for-merges/meson/mesonbuild/coredata.py,
line 1016, in load
obj = pickle.load(f)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mesonbuild.mesonlib.universal';
'mesonbuild.mesonlib' is not a package
FAILED: build.ninja
The reason is that the old version fails to resolve mesonbuild.mesonlib,
which is a similar situation to the existing AttributeError check. Raise
a MesonException for ModuleNotFoundError as well, so that reconfiguration
proceeds using cmd_line.txt.
Previously builds would *potentially* get sammed with messaging at
configure time that duplicate entries in an array would be an error in
the future, and the cause was because the same entries were getting
added over and over to pkg_config_path.p
This is a useful thing to document. I wasn't really sure where to put
it, but since it's developer oriented I figured in the code itself was
probably more useful and more likely to be seen than in the markdown
that generates the website.
We're down to just declaring the data files in python now.
setup.cfg can, uniquely, retrieve version info by trying to parse the
AST for simple assignments (which we use) instead of importing the
entire module.
And don't run a pointless test to verify that the hardcoded list has
been manually maintained correctly. The same test rules used there can
translate directly to find_packages pattern rules.
The script dir is never really used since meson --internal handles this.
The last remaining use of the raw script dir got removed in commit
522392e755.
In commit caab4d3d, the uid and gid arguments passed to os.chown() by
set_chown() were accidentally swapped, causing files to end up with
incorrect owner/group if the owner and group are not the same.
Also update the documentation to better indicate which argument to
install_mode is which.
